About Ashley
Ashley Faison is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with two decades of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people who are parenting and those working on self-esteem, career shifts, and coping with life changes. Her style is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at helping clients take the next practical step they need.
Ashley creates a calm space where clients can talk about hard feelings without judgment. She listens closely to what matters most and helps people find manageable ways forward.
Background and approach
Sessions usually include short-term goal setting and checks on progress so work stays relevant to daily life. Her approach draws from several methods including client-centered care, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. These give a mix of talking, noticing patterns, and trying small experiments between sessions.
The focus is on what works for each person rather than one fixed method. Ashley often helps people untangle guilt and shame, clarify life purpose, and handle midlife transitions. She also supports issues around workplace stress, young adult concerns, and building self-love.
The work is practical and paced to each person's comfort. She emphasizes collaboration and clear next steps. If someone is looking for instruction, encouragement, and tools to change daily habits, Ashley aims to offer that support in ways that fit their life.

Therapeutic approaches that fit flexible online care
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. This approach lets the therapist follow what the client feels is most important and build a plan around their goals and pace.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and measure whether those changes improve daily life. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and practical steps to reach them, which can be useful for parenting challenges and career moves.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means testing options and adjusting plans until something feels useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful when conversation and visual cues matter, phone calls work well for lower bandwidth or when a quick check-in fits a break at work, and chat or text can suit short updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try different formats to find what works best.
